Smashwords book reviews by Case Schmidt

  • Keeper on Sep. 02, 2013

    A stellar space opera if ever there was one. I hadn't expected to find this book so enjoyable, but I did! The characters were believable and the prose was smooth. The plot was well-thought-out and creative. I will definitely be back for more from this author.
  • Madness on Sep. 08, 2013

    Not as stellar as the first one. I was somewhat annoyed by how much of the book's plot was contingent on whining about the events that happened in the first book. Blah. But! Once you get past that there's an interesting story here, so I will be continuing on to read the third book in the series.
  • Sha'erah on Sep. 29, 2013

    Again, the characterizations are what make the Keeper series great. Alex and Evan are a fun pair, and very believable. Off to grab another book from Kristine!
  • The Motivation Hacker on May 16, 2014

    All right! I've got my beeminder set up and am fired up to Get Shit Done. Nick's catching attitude is awesome. I found him via a post on hacking over 100 hours in a week and ended up here. Loved the book. I'm especially impressed as it is a first effort.
  • Dawnshard on Dec. 15, 2020

    Loved it. Much more bite-sized than others in the same series, even though it was quite heft compared to most novelettes! I enjoyed all of the characters and am really glad this was standalone.
  • Defending Elysium on April 05, 2023

    Why haven't more people reviewed this book? I loved seeing more about what some of the initial thoughts were for the Cytonic universe. One of my favorite Sanderson stories.
  • Scatter on April 06, 2023

    Really enjoyed this. Smooth writing, fun characters. I picked it up for the superheroes and enjoyed the relationships :)
